a friend of mine just replaced his well pump.

the new pump sits on the ground, attached to a 200 foot pipe, and somehow manages to draw water from that depth.

my understanding of barometers is that once the pipe is longer than about 34 feet the water will not be pushed any higher by atmospheric pressure, and a vacuum pocket will form above the water.

my friend assured me that the pump is attached to one simple pipe that descends 200 feet down, and that without any priming, manages to draw water up and provide quite a bit of pressure.

what am i misunderstanding here?
